Chapter 81: To Battle, Ye Jian

They left at nearly six in the evening and only arrived in the city at eleven o’clock in the night.

Xia Jinyuan looked at the city’s night sky. The overhead clouds flashed with lightning occasionally. Under such a weather, it seemed like a heavy downpour was to be expected.

He did not wake Ye Jian, who had already slept for a few hours, and smiled as he drove into a gas station.

When the jeep came to a stop, Ye Jian immediately woke up. Her eyes that were now fully opened were clear and full of energy.

That sense of always being on alert was something she had acquired. The moment she opened her eyes, her brain would be completely clear!

Looking at the cloudy sky that flashed with lightning, Ye Jian wrinkled her brows slightly and asked, “It’s going to rain heavily. How much longer will it take to reach the Bureau?”

“In another twenty minutes. The washroom is just right in front, and there’s a convenience store right next to it.” After switching off the headlights, Xia Jinyuan fished out his wallet and handed it to Ye Jian. “We’ll need to fill our stomach first. The Bureau is notorious for being stingy. There certainly won’t be any meal for us there.”

It was true that she was hungry. Ye Jian received the black wallet still filled with his warmth, and she went into the convenience store. She purchased two bottles of milk and two packets of wafers before carrying the bag towards the exit.

In front, a man and a woman laughed and chatted with each other as they pushed the door open. Ye Jian had already retreated to a side. The man who was teasing the girl did not make an attempt to avoid Ye Jian, and his shoulder knocked into her.

Ye Jian caught a whiff of cigarette from him. As the man’s sport jacket fluttered, she saw a small black handle revealing itself from it.

A Ruger KP94 handgun, made with stainless steel, a 9*19mm calibre handgun!

She was able to recognize the gun just by its handle because of how special its components were: its large bolt, barrel, handle, receiver, and its small internal parts that were made of stainless steel!

Ye Jian took another look for a second at the man who owned a gun unlawfully.

As soon as she walked out of the convenience store, a flash of lightning ran through the dark sky. The might of nature could really make a man’s heart shudder.

The heavy rain came pouring, making splatter sounds as the raindrops hit the ground. In an instant, the entire city was covered with rain.

Ye Jian returned to the jeep before whispering to Xia Jinyuan who returned soon after, “Just now in the convenience store, I met a man and a woman. The man’s carrying a Ruger KP94. I remember his appearance. Do you have a pen and paper? I’ll draw for you to see.”

She paused for a moment before going on, “The man was a little similar to Brother Fei. The only difference is that he’s slightly younger and doesn’t sound Chinese. He must have grown up abroad.”

Xia Jinyuan, who was starting up the jeep, pulled out a pen that was with him and twisted his body to the back before using his slender arm to grab something from the plastic bag which he placed in the back seat. From inside the plastic bag, he took out a book and flipped to its last page and pointed at the blank page before saying deeply, “Draw it out, let me see.”

His cold voice sounded more chilly in the rainy weather, and he said fiercely, “Brother Fei has always had contact with outside the borders, but even until now, he hasn’t revealed it.”

“Short hair, a scar on his left ear…” Ye Jian took the pen and began drawing on the blank page. She first drew his special feature to distinguish him from others, then his five facial features, before going on to write his height measurement, estimated body weight, the type of clothes he wore, his shoes, and even the color of his socks; everything about that man was clearly stated down.

In the convenience store, after the man had spoken with a strange accent, he bought two packs of cigarettes and walked out with the seductive woman. He did not immediately enter the car, but instead look at the sudden downpour before a hint of malice appeared on his face.

Not too long later, the imported BMW sped to the heart of the city.
